Uh-huh. You may have noticed I'm not the most tactful person in the world.
( She can be more tactful when needed. Probably. Annie usually opts for silence over tact, but that's because she's blunt from her perspective. Nowhere near always right, just depressingly often right for shitty reasons.
Those don't apply at present. )
Idiots might be the ones who shake up the world most, so you've got that going for you.
( She'll keep her gaze up, aware of their surroundings. )
Yeah. Time usually does.
( And that's fine, all things told. At least they can make it safely to the stupid crystal and be back in the city faster than they can say "wait does this take touch energy or magical energy to work because if so I need to coexist in someone's physical space again, dammit." )
{ honestly he probably goes quiet for a few minutes after that, but then he'll start chatting about something else. if at any point she looks annoyed by the noise though he'll stop completely, kind of going with the vibes for how it's going.
at least by the time they make it back to the airship station they can go direct to the crystal that's off to the side and use that to head back more quickly. }
Since we have the photo I'll go sort out everything with the guild if you wanna head back. Let me know if you wanna do any others in the future.
( she doesn't look bothered when he starts chatting again, she's just more of a listener than a chatter in return. what she does say usually falls into the cadence of his lulls in speech. she does not actually notice this. )
Yeah, sure. No reason not to, and it's... better than staying within the river's bounds the whole time.
( and so their first quest was completed with many a mantis dismantled! )

( She'd probably be inclined to have asked why, so ironically, he had the best approach for Annie. Don't say anything, just make it The Plan. )

Date: 2025-08-17 08:58 pm (UTC){ honestly is she even going to question that.............. }
what did i do to my html...
Date: 2025-08-18 06:21 am (UTC)( She doesn't even sound like she means this rudely. The words are rude, but the tone is more. Mystified. )
ate it
Date: 2025-08-19 10:45 pm (UTC)I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to say that to someone's face. At least without knowing each other a while first.
{ he pauses, then: }
But I guess we did just go through something.
oh my gosh you're right i did and it was SALTY very rude

at least it wasn't sour :(
Date: 2025-08-22 12:58 pm (UTC)Maybe not. But it does remind me of someone I know back home.
{ but her later comment has him gazing at the floor rather than her as he walks. }
And I dunno about that. I guess only time will tell, huh?
idk i like sour things too i'm one of those cretins
Date: 2025-08-27 01:57 am (UTC)Yeah. Time usually does.

i like sour jellies... also we can probably wrap this up now!
